Revealed: Why Arsenal star loves playing with Alexis Sanchez

Arsenal star Mesut Ozil has revealed why he enjoys playing alongside Alexis Sanchez.

The Germany international spoke about his teammate while selecting his PES 2017 dream team during an advert for Konami.

Both Ozil and Sanchez have been linked with moves away from the North London based club this summer. The duo have under 18-months remaining on their deals and are yet to begin contract talks with Arsenal.

“He works a lot,” Ozil stated during a PES 2017 advert.

“He wants to always be successful. I like to play with him.”

Ozil also praised Arsenal right-back Hector Bellerin who was included in his dream XI.

“He’s the fastest player in the world I think,” he added.

Sanchez was dropped to the bench during Arsenal’s 3-1 defeat to Liverpool last weekend while Mesut Ozil missed out due to an illness.

The Germany international is also a doubt for this weekend’s encounter with Lincoln in the FA Cup. Arsenal have only lost one FA Cup tie against a lower league side under Arsene Wenger.

Ozil has won the FA Cup twice since his move to Arsenal from Real Madrid back in September 2013.

Arsenal were recently eliminated from the UEFA Champions League following a 10-2 aggregate defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich.
